To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOSEPH STUBER, citizen of the United States,residing at'leorie, in the county of Peoria and Stete of Illinois, haveinvented a new and useful Culinary Vessel, of which the following is aspecification.

This invention relates generally to culinary utensils and particularlyto that class provided with handles and employing detachable covers orlids.

The object of the present invention is so to improve the utensil as toadapt it in a novel and thoroughly eilective manner to retain the coverin position when the utensil is tilted for the purpose of draining thecontents thereof, and also to facilitate the positioning and removal ofthe cover relative to the utensil, and further to provide for the escapeof steam while the cover is held in place noon the utensil.

With the above and other objects in view, as will appear as the natureof the invention is better understood, the some consists, generellystated, in a'u'tensil embodying a vessel having a handle projecting fromone side thereof, three spring cli s secured to the vessel, one adjacentto the iendle and the others at points equally spaced from a. line drawnthrough the same, the upper ends of the clips being projected over therim of the vessel, and 9 cover provided with drainage openings enddesigned to he held assembled with the utensil by the cli s, theopenings, when the lid is positioned, eing disposed between the clipadjacent to the handle and the other contiguous clip thus to permitdraining the contents of the utensil by tilting the some laterally.

The invention consists further in the various novel features ofconstruction as will be hereinafter fully described.

Fig. 2 is a top plan view ofthe utensil. Fig. 3 is a sectional deteilview through c portion of therim and the vessel, and showing the cooperation between the lidretaining clips and the lid.

Referring to the drawings, 1 designates a, vesselof the sauce pan type,provided with the usual handle 2 and with the detachable cover 3. r

Secured in any preferred manner to tlu rini portion of the vessel arethree spring clips l, 5 and 6, the first named clip being disposed.adjacent to the handle, :nd the other two opposite the handle and atpoints equally spaced from a line drawn through the same. Thisarrangement will leave sufficient SPilCG hetvr'een the clips l end 5 topermit the lateral insertion of tin. r. shown in Fig. l, the clipsproject or edge of the rim, and their under i913 are inclined to theplane of the mouth of the vessel, providin thereby wed hoped erotches orseats to recei the periphery the "over.

disposing the clips in the described, zindby making them re l t, whenthecover is placed in position, there will be suilicient pressure exertedupon it by the clips to insure its positive retention in place when thevesselis tilted laterally for the purpose of draining the contentsthereof.

The cover is provided with any desired number of drainage openings 7,that are normally covered by n hinged lid or closure 8 and to facilitatedraining the vessel, the

cover wi nernlly be so disposed us to bring o 7 between the lugs 4 a" d6.
